GM game in game magazine

GAAH YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW PISSED OFF I AM!

Why? Well because I was writing this blog a few minutes ago. Everything was done and I was just going to post it when my computer restarted. ARGH

Guess I have to re-write it all…

I was in the kitchen about an hour ago.. eating breakfast and reading a game magazine called "LEVEL"

It was issue five.

Suddenly I recognize a screenshot.. I took a closer look.

The title said: Ninja Loves Pirate

I was like, OMG I know that game, it's produced by some swedish guys and is made in GAME MAKER!

It was a pre-review of Ninja Loves Pirate.

I might not be in the team Muskedunder Interactive But since I'm from sweden, It's my duty to translate it for you, because I haven't seen anyone else translate it yet.


Ninja Loves Pirate

Platform: PC

Developer: Muskedunder Interactive

Publisher: N/A

Release date: N/A

You just have to love the name Ninja Loves Pirate. Ninjas and pirates. The fact that the game is developed by a few Swedish guys makes the game, if possible, even more interesting.

Ninja Loves Pirate was from the beginning a contribution to the contest Four Elements at gamedev.net. The demo-version won the contest and was also awarded as the best Swedish independent-game 2005. Right now are Muskedunder Interactive (yep, that's actually their name) completing the full-version.

The game is a simple platform game, and where most of the modern pc-games are trying to use as advanced technique as possible, are Muskedunder Interactive instead using lovely pixeled 2D graphics and humor. It looks like a mix of Metal Slug and Monkey Island, with a ninja with a piratehat and a pirate armed with naginata in the main-roles. One last argument?

The enemies which you're fighting are nothing else than pure zombies.

Ninjas. Pirates. Zombies. 2D. Sweden.

Can it get any better?


uuuh, quite crappy translation, I hope that you undestand most of it though.

For those of you that understands swedish or just wants to have a look at the original review:

Here's a scanned image of the page.

Thanks for reading.

Quite a few GM games are getting popularity recently…

Our local (South African) has some cool GM games occasionally on their DVD and they once also did a piece on Ninja <3 Pirate. Ive heard they are most probably going to put the Cleaner on it next month or something.

I thought the makers of Ninja loves Pirate were going to finish it in C/C++…

It wouldn't suprise me though because it looks like a classic.

I still think Madhouse needs publicity..

Yeah Madhouse really deserves publicity.
